| Comment | I guess everyone has their own comfort zone for what they are OK with - I might go to a matinee cinema performance and feel OK, but stay away from the "date night" crowds in a multiplex on a Saturday night. I will happily enjoy a nice cooked breakfast or similar in a cafe, but would hesitate to go to a proper restaurant. For a very special concert I would go alone but don't make a regular things of it. In all those situations there is a limited benefit from getting out of the house and being around other people, but I don't expect to turn any of those into somehow finding a friend that way. I would say if you just want enjoyable activities neither thing you mentioned is bad or strange, after all there's lots of people single/ living alone these days. But if you are feeling a need for connection or to talk to people then I'm not sure what to suggest apart from the traditional community volunteering/ evening classes/ Meetup.com |
